At Mercury, the Ohio Players enjoyed their greatest success; not only did their sound coalesce, but they became notorious for their sexually provocative LP covers, a tradition begun during their Westbound tenure.
Objects float when the volume of water they displace is less than the volume of the objects themselves. When objects sink, the volume of water they displace is greater than the volume of the object. The principle may seem relatively simple: Light objects float and heavy objects sink.
Density may also refer to how closely packed or crowded the material appears to be - again refer to the styrofoam vs. ceramic cup. Density Comparison to Water: In chemistry, the density of many substances is compared to the density of water. Does an object float on water or sink in the water? If an object such as a piece of wood floats on water it is less dense than water vs. if a rock sinks, it is more dense than water. Density examples: ***See top menu bar for more examples***. Oil and vinegar salad dressing: The oil floats on the vinegar water mixture, while the solids sink to the bottom.
